Perspectives Attersee 2023

15 JULY - 6 AUGUST 2023

It's not black and prickly, but it's not wrapped in rose-coloured cotton wool either.
Approach people, bring them together and push them into a direct exchange in a positive sense. 

THERE WILL BE INSTALLATION, VIDEO, FASHION, DISCOURSE, PERFORMANCE AND MUSIC. IT WILL BE LOUD, COLOURFUL AND WILD.

Time for fresh perspectives! The festival is taking place for the 13th time this year and would like to give Attersee and the entire region inspiring impulses from the world of contemporary art.

For the first time in the thirteen-year history of the festival, Perspectives 2023 will receive curators who have no biographical connection to Lake Attersee. Styrian Barbara Gölles was born in Bad Radkersburg in 1982, grew up in Fürstenfeld and currently lives in Vienna. After studying fashion at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Gölles worked for Alexander McQueen in London, among others. Since 2015 she has been designing sustainable swimwear for her own label "Margaret and Hermione." She was already represented as a designer at the Perspectives Festival in 2021 and 2022.

Born in Innsbruck in 1974, fellow curator Thomas Kasebacher grew up in Tyrol. After studying in Innsbruck, Liverpool and Stockholm, he chose Vienna as his adopted home. His art moves between performance, installation and research. He is on the board of the Tyrolean Artists' Association and has already taught in Switzerland, Finland, Austria and the USA. Most recently he presented "RAW" at the Vienna Festival and "Object Trouvé" at the Impulse Festival in Düsseldorf.
